Infrared Regulation Thermometry(IRT) is a whole-body medical procedure designed for men, women, and children over six years of age. This is a gentle, painless, non-toxic, and non-invasive assessment tool. IRT uses an infrared sensor to measure skin temperatures at over 100 points on the body.
Measurements are performed before and after a brief cooling period that acts as a mild stress stimulus, thereby inducing regulation through the autonomic nervous system’s control of blood circulation to the skin. By analyzing the skin’s thermal responses to stress, insights can be gained into the physiological (versus anatomical), functioning health of various systems of the body, in health and in disease.
The data collected from these temperature measurements is sent to a server that accesses a database comprised from 30,000 patients over the last 15 years. By using a consortium of advanced algorithms, the fuzzy-logic analysis creates an individualized report revealing where the body has developed dysfunction or autonomic dys-regulation of the nervous system leading to the loss of optimal health.
This technology aids in early identification of many disease signatures such as diabetes and pancreas stress, breast cancer and cystic changes, liver disease and function, endocrine function (pituitary/thyroid/ovary), cardiac function (efficiency/electrophysiology), brain toxicity, dental infections, viral and bacterial infections.
Please note that this is not an imaging device, such as X-ray, Camera Thermography, MRI, etc., which are used to solely visualize anatomical changes in the body. IRT does not determine anatomical abnormalities or diagnose diseases, but rather identifies physiological dys-regulation patterns. It is designed to be used as an adjunct to other diagnostic tests such as mammography, CT, and MRI.
